What's sad is that we got this cheap, hollow ending to two of the best characters the show has ever seen instead of the fantastic and meaningful one that the series had already masterfully set up. And also that the Doctor is apparently too stupid to realise that it's possible to write lies in books and on gravestones.

For those of you who don't know what smorking is, it's a combination of smoking and smirking. NASA didn't want to let any punks like this guy in:

Spoiler:- Not even if he has Mutta's voice:

100% of information in signatures on this forum involving percentages is false. If you feel as cheated by this atrocity as I do, don't you dare copy this into your signature.
Hold on... if this percentage was correct at the time of print, that means the actual percentage of false information is less than 100% if this signature is included. Which means that... no! I've become a slave to the system!!

I thought Kako Random was a bit rushed, but it was still good stuff. Waiting until the spring of next year to release the final four episodes of Kokoro Connect is bizarre - couldn't they have adapted more material if they were going to wait that long?

Hunter x Hunter is magnificent at the moment. The strengths of the cast are balanced so damn well.

So Btooom! Actually had a pre-airing of the second episode as well, which was used to rush Himiko's backstory in a lot sooner then it was in the manga.

So, worth watching?

I too thought their final scene could have been better than it was. I haven't watched all the episodes but I imagine those who did would probably feel stronger about it than I do.

Those could be typos too? Waitting is also a typo.

I'll say. I'm really glad I picked it up when it came out because now it's getting incredible.

Definitely, the adaptation is looks promising going off the first two episodes. Himiko's backstory was brought forward, but it did not look out of place the way they handled it. Though it looks like fan subbers will be waiting for the TV airing later this week for the much better quality.

Nah, it's not a typo, here is a long and complicated explanation:

I hate it when someone smorks in my face." For whatever reason, the English word "smoke" is often rendered as "smork" in Japan. The issue is how the Japanese perceive certain sounds, especially the "r" phoneme that's not familiar to them. Because Japanese is a syllable-based language in which you can express sounds like ka, ki, ku, ke or ko, but not the consonant "k" by itself, English words like "hello" "goodbye" or "beer, please" must be forced through this rather alien phonetic system, resulting in haroh (the final "h" representing an elongating of the previous vowel), guddobai and biiru puriizu. The very first fast food I ate in Japan was a McDonald's clone called First Kitchen (home of the world famous scrambled egg burger, yech), and I remember some confusion as to whether the company was First Kitchen or Fast Kitchen. Without the full repertoire of English sounds, the Japanese render the latter as fasuto and the former as fahsuto, with the longer middle vowel serving the role of the "r" in "first." This rule gets over-generalized in some words, which is why the long middle sound of the word sumo-ku (smoke) ends up as "smork.

Good to know, guess I'll be waiting for subs then. Do you watch stuff without subs now?

Nah, it's not a typo, here is a long and complicated explanation:

Well, I already knew most of that thanks to taking that Japanese class back in university. But I didn't know smoke got translated to smork like that.

Some shows I can get through without subs, only if they use fairly basic language though, I'd have no hope getting through something like Bakemono or Nisemono, or more recently Shinsekai Yori. I understood about 30-40% of what was said in Btooom! However since I read the manga I pretty much knew what was going on already, will definitely re-watch it later with when the subs are out though. I do however still prefer using subs since they can be helpful with learning words I didn't know.

Heard the opening of Kamisama no Memochou and I just had to see it. So far, it's interesting! Kokoro Connect's "last" episode was alright, but I really hope the other 4 get streamed. Don't have the money for Blu Ray. Started Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai just 'cause it suddenly popped into my head. Sword Art Online is cool as usual. Haven't been able to watch as much Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann as I planned to; hope that won't decrease my enjoyment for it.
